I have a list of projects I want to do. I like to mark off finished projects and it helps me priroitize who get or what get done first. This past weekend, I got to mark three off my to do list. There are always projects showing up about the time I get it under control and re-write. I have a list I know I need to do before Christmas and I have the drop dead date to get them to the quilter. Keeps me straight.
Make your list. I also have notes for all quilts made and photos in a book.
